I spent two months taking full-time in-person classes at Zabaan, and I'm very glad that I did. All of my teachers (Tamanna, Anita, Priya) were top notch. They are super knowledgeable, kind and helpful. Their expertise in teaching Hindi as a second language was so valuable, and I would love to continue classes with them in the future.

I took 90 hours of Hindi at Zabaan and was very happy about about the course; my teachers Anshu, Rachayta, Tamanna & Anita were incredibly helpful and would answer all my questions, and the course was very complete and well explained. I enjoyed coming everyday to take my Hindi classes. Keziah was as well helpful coordinating classes & schedule changes, and Meena ji was very kind. I miss coming to Zabaan on a daily basis to learn Hindi! I can only warmly recommend taking classes from Zabaan.

I have been a student at Zabaan for nearly 8 months. Going through a number of their programs has been a fantastic experience and has greatly improved my Hindi. I also must commend their competency demonstrated throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. They have rather effortlessly moved their teaching online in a way which maintains the quality of their education. I have mostly worked with Rachayta while at Zabaan. She has a brilliant ability to recognize common errors I make and identify the appropriate grammatical rules to help me learn from those mistakes. Trained as a linguist, I am also always appreciative of her ability to deconstruct any word and explicate its etymology. This skill makes learning both interesting and clarifying, allowing myself to draw useful connections. Rachayta's sharp ears for pronunciation also enable me to not only be able to understand Hindi, but to be understood when speaking! Zabaan as a whole is a fantastic institution. I am eager to rejoin them in person when possible and am confident that their continued efforts have greatly improved my Hindi. Thanks Zabaan and team, and I highly recommend for all those interested in learning languages!
